Kimi: Penny for your thoughts. Better make that 100 pennies!
Ailís: It's just not fair. Why are all the boys our age so stupid and immature when the older ones are so... cool! Like the new student teacher. I can't keep my eyes off of him.

Fina appeared from inside the treehouse. Apparently she had been listening to the whole conversation.
Fina: Why do you guys even care about those boys. Just ignore them or throw something back at them.

Mary: "Oh, hello! I'm very glad to meet another girl about my size and age. I was starting to feel a bit lonely and wondered if there were any dolls here more like me. I started to think maybe I wouldn't fit in and get sent away or something."
Kimi: "You? Naw, you are special. I can tell. You are alive and the only dolls that leave here are ones that don't come alive for some reason. They are given another chance somewhere else. Besides, you are new! I'm an old model and have fat ankles, haha, but I'm still loved."

It is still very warm and dry and everyone is outside in shorts and sandals, so we decided to visit the creek and check things out. First, I saw a really cool pod that had opened up. The cotton fluff inside was really soft. I hope the seeds travel on the wind and grow into new plants.
